restless night all visitors are denied bulletin rome april 10 10:40 a m 3:50 a m Chicago time â€” failure of the pope to rally following the sudden rise in his temperature early in the morning as has been characteristic of his holin.ss daring previous relapses gave grave concern to his attending physicians and those gathered about his bedside the look of resignation on the face of the pontiff and a cessation of the convlusions which had racked the worn body throughout the night caused dr amici and professor marchiafava to hold a hurried consultation with dr cagiata and it was rumored that oxygen was to be resorted to as a last resort to pro long life the marked change in the manner of his holiness was considered the most significant of the symptoms as the news of the new turn in the critical condition of the pontiff was spread through the streets a great hush like i that of death settled upon the populace by camillo cianfarra special cable to the examiner rome april 10 â€” at 4 o'clock this morning the pope's temperature had risen to 39.8 degrees centigrade 103 degrees fahrenheit although his fever had risen constantly during the past two hours and a half it was said that the patient was not in distress and appeared to be in as satisfactory condition as could be expected professor marchiafava early this morning admitted after a visit io the papal chamber that his holiness suffered from inflammation of the kidneys complicated with dropsy of a cardiac origin this was taken as confirmation of the widely circulated report in the early evening that the pontiff was known to be suffering with chronic bright's disease of over a year's standing at 1:30 o'clock this morning it was announced from the vatican that the pope's temperature was 38.5 centigrade or 101.3 fahrenheit night was a restless one it also was reported that his holiness had not spent the quiet night which professor marchiafava had predicted for him but that he had been unable to sleep for more than an hour at a time the pope was subject to frequent coughing spells which sometimes mark the coming of convul sions it was said that he had been free from convulsions during the night but that his sleep was restless owing to the high temperature the uraemic crisis through which the pope passed yesterday after noon was accompanied by a prolonged drowsiness and later by complete stupor and convulsions which made necessary the frequent injections of strophanthin these hypodermic injections tended io make the heart beat very ir regularly while they had no apparent effect upon the contracted arteries it was announced by a private chamberlain viose lo the affairs in the vatican that great difficulty had been experienced in getting the pontiff to take nourishment owing to his extreme sore throat he also said that the pope had shown much irritability over numerous matters in marked con trast to his former joking manner of talking with his physicians and at tendants as a result of he latest unobserved progress of the uraemic disease the pope's respiration became suddenly impaired and his increased difficulty in breathing througji yesterday afternoon and last night marked the most serious feature of the relapse the optimistic air which pervaded the vatican and was spread by via â€¢ itors leaving and later by official reports changed materially when the report emanated from the vatican that at 3 o'clock yesterday the pope had suffered a rise cf temperature and appeared to be in a weakened condition it was also learned that the patient had suffered convulsion and a rather prolonged fainting fit while the pope had been unable to sleep for any number of hours continuously yesterday owing to frequent coughing spells he was reported to have rested fairly well it was at this time that he cheerfully greeted dr amici who toid the patient that his temperature was practically normal and his pulse good ' sends message to sisters the pontiff's first thought upon being told this was to request that the message should be sent to his sisters anna and maria sarto who were in a house adjoining the vatican he had requested many times that he oe allowed to see his sisters but since his sudden relapse of tlree days ago all visitors except those in immediate attendance were forbidden according to an authoritative evening paper here the ambassadors and ministers to the vatican last night wired their respective govern ments that the pope was not thought to be able to live out the month the tribuna last night printsd an interview with a prominent prelate in which he was quoted to the effect that the po'.e no longer joked about his illness but resignedly spoke of his death four thousand pilgrims gathered in st peter's church yesterday after noon when the seriousness of the pope's condition was appreciated for the first tim prayers were said for the recovery of the holy father a few callers at the vatican were received by cardinal merry del val papal secretary of state but even he number of vis i tor a had been materially decreased and none of the cardinals who catted during the da were allowed to see his holiness prayers for the

103 degrees in night pontiff speaks resignedly of the ap proaching end ceasing his usual chaffing with his physicians re garding his illness as death nears has fainting spell and convulsions passes a restless night all visitors are denied bulletin rome april 10 10:40 a m 3:50 a m Chicago time â€” failure of the pope to rally following the sudden rise in his temperature early in the morning as has been characteristic of his holin.ss daring previous relapses gave grave concern to his attending physicians and those gathered about his bedside the look of resignation on the face of the pontiff and a cessation of the convlusions which had racked the worn body throughout the night caused dr amici and professor marchiafava to hold a hurried consultation with dr cagiata and it was rumored that oxygen was to be resorted to as a last resort to pro long life the marked change in the manner of his holiness was considered the most significant of the symptoms as the news of the new turn in the critical condition of the pontiff was spread through the streets a great hush like i that of death settled upon the populace by camillo cianfarra special cable to the examiner rome april 10 â€” at 4 o'clock this morning the pope's temperature had risen to 39.8 degrees centigrade 103 degrees fahrenheit although his fever had risen constantly during the past two hours and a half it was said that the patient was not in distress and appeared to be in as satisfactory condition as could be expected professor marchiafava early this morning admitted after a visit io the papal chamber that his holiness suffered from inflammation of the kidneys complicated with dropsy of a cardiac origin this was taken as confirmation of the widely circulated report in the early evening that the pontiff was known to be suffering with chronic bright's disease of over a year's standing at 1:30 o'clock this morning it was announced from the vatican that the pope's temperature was 38.5 centigrade or 101.3 fahrenheit night was a restless one it also was reported that his holiness had not spent the quiet night which professor marchiafava had predicted for him but that he had been unable to sleep for more than an hour at a time the pope was subject to frequent coughing spells which sometimes mark the coming of convul sions it was said that he had been free from convulsions during the night but that his sleep was restless owing to the high temperature the uraemic crisis through which the pope passed yesterday after noon was accompanied by a prolonged drowsiness and later by complete stupor and convulsions which made necessary the frequent injections of strophanthin these hypodermic injections tended io make the heart beat very ir regularly while they had no apparent effect upon the contracted arteries it was announced by a private chamberlain viose lo the affairs in the vatican that great difficulty had been experienced in getting the pontiff to take nourishment owing to his extreme sore throat he also said that the pope had shown much irritability over numerous matters in marked con trast to his former joking manner of talking with his physicians and at tendants as a result of he latest unobserved progress of the uraemic disease the pope's respiration became suddenly impaired and his increased difficulty in breathing througji yesterday afternoon and last night marked the most serious feature of the relapse the optimistic air which pervaded the vatican and was spread by via â€¢ itors leaving and later by official reports changed materially when the report emanated from the vatican that at 3 o'clock yesterday the pope had suffered a rise cf temperature and appeared to be in a weakened condition it was also learned that the patient had suffered convulsion and a rather prolonged fainting fit while the pope had been unable to sleep for any number of hours continuously yesterday owing to frequent coughing spells he was reported to have rested fairly well it was at this time that he cheerfully greeted dr amici who toid the patient that his temperature was practically normal and his pulse good ' sends message to sisters the pontiff's first thought upon being told this was to request that the message should be sent to his sisters anna and maria sarto who were in a house adjoining the vatican he had requested many times that he oe allowed to see his sisters but since his sudden relapse of tlree days ago all visitors except those in immediate attendance were forbidden according to an authoritative evening paper here the ambassadors and ministers to the vatican last night wired their respective govern ments that the pope was not thought to be able to live out the month the tribuna last night printsd an interview with a prominent prelate in which he was quoted to the effect that the po'.e no longer joked about his illness but resignedly spoke of his death four thousand pilgrims gathered in st peter's church yesterday after noon when the seriousness of the pope's condition was appreciated for the first tim prayers were said for the recovery of the holy father a few callers at the vatican were received by cardinal merry del val papal secretary of state but even he number of vis i tor a had been materially decreased and none of the cardinals who catted during the da were allowed to see his holiness prayers for the recovery of the holy father were offered in every church and convent and in many homes in the city and country several continued on 2d page d column continued cool brisk and high east v^si^i '
